Study abroad and Pre-Med? Possible?

I was only abroad for a semester (my apologies for wording my above post strangely), and it was in a program through my university, so I didn’t have any problems with getting any credits to count. But, for what it’s worth, AMCAS asks that you have transcripts sent from everywhere you’ve studied, so she’ll probably have to get a transcript from Oxford or something like that. So the grades there should be taken into account on her applications (at least I think so).

And I have no idea how medical schools view my study abroad, but it was in no way an extra hassle. I wouldn’t give it up for anything.
